So they have that working for them.<\/p>\n<p>But Detroit isn\u2019t close to B.C., where Myers\u2019 family is well established. The Red Wings also aren\u2019t widely viewed as a legitimate Stanley Cup contender.<\/p>\n<p>Dhaliwal said on Friday that he believes Myers would waive his no-movement clause for a trade to the Dallas Stars, given the Houston-born blueliner\u2019s ties to Texas. The Stars are currently one of the favourites to win the Stanley Cup, but we don\u2019t yet know what they\u2019ve offered.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"tyler myers vancouver canucks\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2119583\" style=\"color:transparent\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/tyler-myers-canucks.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-2119583\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Myers was born in Houston, before moving to Calgary as a child (Bob Frid\/Imagn Images)<\/p>\n<p>The Stars would have an easy time adding Myers\u2019 $3-million cap hit to their roster, given the news that <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/FriedgeHNIC\/status\/2027477549597544917\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Tyler Seguin will miss the rest of the season due to a torn ACL<\/a>.

They\u2019re another contending team with enough cap space to add Myers with relative ease.<\/p>\n<p>Myers is in the second year of a three-year contract with a no-movement clause that converts to a modified no-trade clause (<a href=\"https:\/\/puckpedia.com\/player\/tyler-myers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">12-team list according to PuckPedia<\/a>) on July 1.<\/p>\n<p>He could block the Detroit deal and wait to see if a more favourable team steps up before next week\u2019s March 6 trade deadline. Nobody should blame Myers for blocking a trade, but it does seem like a matter of when, not if, he gets dealt. And if this drags out until the summer, Myers will have much less say in where he ends up.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tyler Myers is still a member of the Vancouver Canucks, but for how much longer?
